Additional information

Going Concern In preparing the financial statements, the Directors have considered the cashflows and funding of the Everyone TV Limited group, of which the Company is a subsidiary. In preparing this Group wide going concern assessment the Directors have prepared a detailed operational and cashflow budget for the next 12 months. The existing funding commitment from its ultimate shareholders (members) runs to 31 December 2026. We are now in discussions with our ultimate members over a new 3-year funding agreement and are confident that we will reach agreement before the end of 31 December 2026. The shareholder funding is received by Everyone TV Limited (ultimate parent company) which has undertaken to continue to provide financial support to the Company if there is any shortfall in the Company’s ability to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of 12 months from the date the accounts are signed. The operations of the Company, to the extent they are not funded through external sales, are provided for by the parent company. The funding received from the parent company is treated as Turnover within these Financial Statements, as it represents funding for provision of services in accordance with note 1g. The Directors of the Company are also Directors of the ultimate parent company and are directly responsible for the maintenance and agreement of the members funding agreement. The Directors have considered the viability of both the Company and its parent as a combined Group and have considered the ability of its Members BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 to provide sufficient resources to ensure that the Group is adequately funded to provide the services and achieve its objectives. Based on the existing funding agreement, the cash reserves, the detailed cashflow forecasts prepared and their assessment of the members ability to deliver on their commitment under this funding agreement, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company supported by the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. Thus, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.
